Land of the Living Lyrics

Well, it's up in the mornin', everybody off and runnin'
Everybody got some place to be
Some people never go walkin', some people just stop talkin'
And I was slippin' away, you came and pulled me through, babyI wanna stay in the land of the living with you
I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you
I wanna stay in the land of the living with you
I wanna stay here with youYou know we work and we worry, this old world's in such a hurry
So many things we just don't see
Some people always cryin', some people just stop tryin'
And I was slippin' away, you came and pulled me throughI wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you
I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with youWe got to do what we can now, about all this pain and sorrow
We got to live just a little, we could all be gone tomorrow
When I look at you girl, my heart rejoices
You taught me somethin', considering the choicesI wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you

I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with youI wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you
I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with youI wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you
I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Don Henley

Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
